THE FoRTY-NINTH CONGRESS
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, January l9-Edmunds,
from the committee on foreign rela-
tons, reported a bill to authorize the
President of the United States to pro-
tect and defend the rights of American
fishing vessels, American trading and
other vessels in certain cases, and for
other purposes. He said he had also
written report on the subject, which
he had been directed by the committee
70 submit, together with the documents,
papers, evidence, etc. He would sub
NIT them, and would ask the Senate to
take up the bill and proceed with it,
and dispose of it at the earliest possible
dav.
Mitchell (PennsyiVania), from the
committee on pensions, reported back
favorsbly the House bill for the relief
of dependent parents and honorably
discharged soldiers and sailors now dis
abled, and dependent on their labor for
support. He gave notice that to-
morrow morning he would ask the
Senate to take it up and consider it.
Frye, from the commit, on foreign
relation, reported an amen iment to be
offered to one of the appropriation bills,

HOUSE..

In the morning hour, the House re-
sumed consideration of the resolution
setting apart the 18th of January for
consideration of the Blair educational
bill. No action was taken on the reso-
luton, and at the conclusion of the
morning hour, the House resumed con-
sideration of the conference report of
the interstate commerce bill.
Crisp gave notice that he would ask
for vote upon the report on the inter
state commerce bill tomorrow after the
morning hour.
Durham (IIlinois) addressing himself
to the long and short haul section of
the bill expressed his inability to
understand its meaning and his dis
belief that anybody else understood its
Interpretation. 1t would have to be
left TO the courts. If the railroads
were forced by this bill to raise their
through rates the section of the coun-
try in which he lived would sustain the
greatest injury, for it would be more
difficult for the farmers of that section
to place their grain products in Europe
IN competiio ion with the grain
products of Australia. This bill was
better than nothing, aud while he
thought that it was inconsistent in
places, in tie absence OF anything
better, he would vote for it.
Bynum (Indiana) would vote for the
bill, but with some misgivings. -iilt

injustice would be completely sheathed.

went over.
On motion of Clardy (Missouri) bill
was passed authorizing the construc-
ton OF a bridge over the Mississippi
River at st. Louis.
Mr.. OuthYaite (Ohio) offered the fol-
lowing, which was referred to the COM
mlttee on Pacific Railways:
ReSolued, That the Secretary of the Treas
ury be, and he is hereby requested, to in
form the House of Representatives, as soon
